}

// for the list don't forget ... example below members... for a list /w out is static
@mixin band($name, $members...) {
 @each $member in $members {
  .#{$name}.#{$member} {
   background: url("images/#{$name}/#{$member}.jpg");
  }
 }
}

div {

 margin: 0px 0 0 10px;
}

@include band(radiohead,thom, jonny, colin, phil);
@include band(nin, cuties);

a {

  height: 10px;
  background: blue;
  display: block; }

div {
  margin: 0px 0 0 10px; }

.radiohead.thom {
  background: url("images/radiohead/thom.jpg"); }

.radiohead.jonny {
  background: url("images/radiohead/jonny.jpg"); }

.radiohead.colin {
  background: url("images/radiohead/colin.jpg"); }

.radiohead.phil {
  background: url("images/radiohead/phil.jpg"); }

.nin.cuties {
  background: url("images/nin/cuties.jpg"); }
